HC Deb 25 July 1968 vol 769 cc157-8W
Mr. Blackburn

asked the Postmaster General whether he has now given further consideration to the question of granting concessionary television and radio licences to old persons' homes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stonehouse

I am proposing to lay Regulations which will introduce a new licence for old people's homes. This licence will cover the use by residents in their own rooms of mains-operated, as well as battery-operated, sets.
